How to open CM5 file?
The most common problem when using LexisNexis Case Analysis is that a specific CM5 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CM5, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CM5 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install NoteMap
In this case, you should first verify that the NoteMap application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name NoteMap into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CM5 files.
Programs to open CM5 file
Remember to download programs supporting CM5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NoteMap with CM5 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CM5 file to open in the NoteMap application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CM5 file with the NoteMap program.
Step 3. Update NoteMap to the latest version
If, however, after binding NoteMap with LexisNexis Case Analysis there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the LexisNexis page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CM5 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The CM5 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CM5 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CM5 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CM5 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CM5 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CM5 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CM5 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CM5 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CM5 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
